It has come to that time of the year when we announce our most favorite release per country of 2013, this will then be followed by our top 50 releases of the year which will conclude Sunday 22nd December 2013. These releases have been selected by our GMA Team and as thus we are proud to announce the winners of 'release of the year' by country. These are set out in continent order, starting in Africa and working our way around the globe. Of course we have 14 days left to adjust the list, so keep your eyes peeled.

So starting in Africa we will start at the very north west and work our way around the continent. Heading south through the deserts of North Africa into the middle sections and finishing up somewhere in the Indian Ocean, where we will head over to Asia.

Now being in Asia we will start at the very west and work our way around the continent, starting in the Arabic lands moving through the vast open areas of the central plains and ending up in Indonesia, where we will head over to Oceania.

This is the smallest lot, as there only are three scene in this area that we know of, albeit French Polynesia; Australia, New Zealand and Papua New Guinea. Afterwards we head to North & Central America.

Now in North & Central America we head from Canada to Panama and the enter South America.
